"Secretary Pete Buttigieg met with Southwest airlines CEO Bob Jordan, as well as union leaders, to reiterate the company's "responsibilities to customers" amid travel chaos, Buttigieg told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday.

Buttigieg told CNN that the Department of Transportation would hold Southwest accountable after he said the airline had promised the department in writing last summer that they would "take care of customers" during delays and cancellations.

"Now that we have those commitments that were made to us over the summer, we're going to be using that as a tool to hold them accountable," Buttigieg said on CNN. "And I made that clear to Southwest leadership.
